Shnayim Yomi - Ki Tisa - D'var Torah

[Music] parashat kitisa king solomon writes tov that someone with a good eye will be blessed explains that that pasuk was referring to moshe rabbenu and why is that because musharraben was someone who had a great and generous eye and he did so much for everyone but there was two great examples that proves to us the midrash says that mushroom was extremely generous number one we found in this week's parashat in this week's parashaka deshpat who tells me to go and carve brand new tablets and these tablets will be brought up and hashem will inscribe in them the torah says hashem tells him that that mushroom should go carve for himself and the intention was that moshe bennu was being the one who was given the torah again it was moshe's own will to be generous and go and share it with bene israel the second time this is later in our torah when mushrik was passing on and he's passing on the mantle of leadership to yahshua two years hashem tells him to put one hand on yeshua's head when he gives him that new position when he does and he uh he ordinates him as the new leader what did mushroom do he put two hands on it so the obvious question is how do these two things really show mushrooms great generosity okay so hashem gave him the torah by him sharing the knowledge of torah and those obligations in the mitzvot with the rest of the nation does that in any way diminish mushroom's greatness similarly by passing on the mantle of leadership by ordinating yeshua with two hands instead of one hand how does that make moshe benu any any more generous he's not losing anything normally when someone's generous they're giving of themselves they're giving something so the answer's as follows in life there is a concept that we obviously want good for others we want everyone to be successful everyone to be happy everyone to be great but the question is is do we want them to have it as good as we have it do we want them to succeed as great as we do do we want their children to be as great as ours do they want do we want their business to be as great if not better than ours this is what mushroom was doing benu was showing that even though the torah was given to him he is sharing with benesir because he understands the great value that the entire nation should fulfill it when yoshua benue was was up next to be the next leader he wanted yoshua to be as great if not even better of a leader than he was for ben israel that's that someone who has a great i will be blessed i think very applicable to us is that we should look at our family our friends our neighbors and we should obviously wish good unto everyone and bless everyone and hope that everyone succeeds and does great but we should also want them to have it as great if not greater than us and that is a true lesson in emunah because when we understand that what ours is ours and what's theirs is theirs and what we have is exactly what hashem wanted us to have and what we don't have is exactly hashem didn't want us to have we can truly be happy with what we have and we can be happy for others shalom [Music] you
